How To Pronounce Skype?

Hong Kiat: “Please on your Sky-pee.”

Caker: “What Sky-pee? It’s called Skype without ‘pee’ lah!”

Hong Kiat: “The whole world call it Sky-pee lah!”

Caker: “There’s a feature in Skype called ‘SkypeOut’, doesn’t it sound weird when you pronounce it as ‘Sky-pee-Out’?”

Hong Kiat: “……”

Caker: “Alright, let’s google it!”

OK, found this from Skype website.

How do you pronounce the word Skype?
Skype rhymes with ripe and type.

So, go screw those people who ever tried to correct you by telling you that the word Skype was pronounced as “Sky-pee”!

Yes, I already screwed Hong Kiat the TECH Blogger, hahahahaha……

Safe

My company office is located in a industrial park at the east side of Singapore.

A new colleague Raymond - a Philippino who is new to Singapore, asked Darren a question that we thought was quite funny.

Venue: Office
Time: 7.30PM
Weather: Rainy

Raymond: “Darren, is it safe to walk to bus stop alone at this hour?”

It takes about 10 minutes walk to bus stop from office.

Darren: “Don’t worry, it’s safe to walk alone at this hour, this is Sparta not Malaysia.”

Looks like The Philippines and Malaysia pretty much the same, people feel insecure when walking alone. In Singapore, such feeling is unnecessary.
